As the old saying goes, you get what you pay fore. My bathroom had a window, when looking out the window there is a wall of another building and wires/cables and a birds nest. Curtains on the window would have been appreciated. The air conditioner didn't work very well. When paying for the room, I asked that my bank card not be charged. I gave them a credit card to charge. When I got my bank statement, the staff had charged my bank card. Not cool River Road Motell

We got to the property at 8:25pm and there was no one in the office. We rang the bell like the note on the door says to, knocked but no answer. I called the property numerous times and left a message and also wrote a message to them but have yet to hear back. We walked around the property trying to find someone but could not. We were unable to check in so I contacted Expedia and they were not able to get ahold of the property either. Their office hours posted are showing them being open until 9pm.

I wasnt even able to go. They called me, last minute, and told me that they overbooked by 26 rooms, and that they would not have a room for me. I booked and paid for this room well ober a month ago. I spent the mext hour looking for a room im je area and the.only ones Avail were 4× the price i paid for this one!. Because of this, i iss the wedding celebration that i was supposed to go to. This is unacceptable. This kind of thing has neber happened to me before. I am extremely pissed off about this situation!

We had two rooms booked. When we arrived at 6pm a very young staff (maybe 16 years old) sadly told us that they were overbooked. I asked if the owner or manager was there. I had spoken to the manager and confirmed everything a week before. She was in tears. I called why they didn't call us and let us know so we can get a different hotel? She said the owners didn't want her to call people. It was a sad mess and weird. I felt bad for the manager and young staff member.

Check in was good and staff friendly enough. Room is fine; for the price, you kind of know what to expect, However, the room had absolutely no towels of any kind. Told the front desk clerk and she said they were being washed and she’d bring them. However, when we got back to room from dinner around 9pm, we still had no towels. Lobby was locked and there’s a bell to ring for apparent service, but nobody came. Tried again in the morning, after 7am and had same experience. Nobody at front desk and no response was o bell. Even called and got no answer. Consequently , was not able to shower. Seems very odd that a hotel in a major tourist spot would be so unavailable and unresponsive to guests.

Upon viewing photos of this motel, it looked charming. Upon arrival, I was shocked! The exterior was tar papered and graffiti everywhere. Remodeling or NOT, what a misrepresentation. I asked for the King bed and received a Queen. I reserved with a credit card but I asked to pay cash upon arrival. Of course, they charged my credit card and now I have returned for insufficient funds fees. There is no hair dryer, coffee maker (web page says free coffee and ice), no ice. No cups in the room & only 2 medium sized, mismatched towels. Only 1 washcloth & NO hand towels. The shower curtain was over a foot too long. It is virtually impossible to find anyone at the front desk to ask for extra towels, etc. “ring the bell or call this #. On my third day, a very drugged out woman who claimed to be the on site manager said that hadn’t done laundry yet (2PM). Told me to put my sheets and towels outside door. They would bring some. 4 hours later, nothing. When I went to the desk the same woman said that she fell asleep and didn’t have any linens, etc available YET! A couple of small towels and sheets were given to me . No pillow cases. I had make my own bed.( Just a note: when got under the sheets the 1st night, I found a narcotic pill that wasn’t mine.) No lamp by the bed so I had only one other lamp across the room . I fell trying to find the bed, bruised my leg & hit my head. I have a concussion.) Talked to another so-called mgr upon departure. She claimed that they were always available.

I showed up at the motel and was told they didn't have a room for me even though my name was on their list. Apparently they gave it away to someone that paid ahead of time. Disgusting.

Not worth the price ideal for being close to downtown but everything is bad. Got there at 2p wouldn’t let us check into 3 and we were the only car in the lot and people that stayed there overnight. Bed are very uncomfortable and at least hang the 24 inch tv on a wall was placed on a side table in corner.
